I took about a handful of piano lessons several years ago and recently decided I wanted to give it another try. All my colleagues possess artistic talents outside their careers, and I want to bring something to the table. Ray Akers absolutely helped me achieve that goal! He thoroughly coursed me through the basics, techniques, and exercises until I had a comfortable understanding. He is no stranger to constructive criticism, but he also points out my strengths and encourages improvement through independent practice. Before I knew it, I was reading sheet music while playing without sweating profusely! A very diverse and talented musician himself, he helped me uncover my own niche in music genres. I have an entirely new perception and level of appreciation now when enjoying a live performance or listening to an album. I'm so glad I got more than I expected from his instruction. Mr. Akers is punctual, professional, technical and always ready to share his knowledge and joy of musical expression. I would definitely recommend him to a friend!

Neither my daughter (age 8) nor I have previous experience with playing any instruments. Mr. Akers has been working with my daughter for nearly 3 months, and she has made impressive progress. He is very professional, a skilled teacher, and makes understanding how to read the music and play the piano a pleasant experience. I was so impressed with my daughter's progress that I have started taking lessons as well. After just 2 sessions, I recognize the keys and can read/play a very basic piece (Mary Had A Little Lamb/Frere Jacques). I would certainly recommend giving Mr. Akers a try if your are interested in learning to play the piano-I am sure you won't be disappointed.

If you are a novice bass player and wish to improve your skills to higher levels, Ray is the instructor for you. I’ve watched many bass videos on Youtube, but after taking lessons with Ray, I honestly feel that my knowledge is starting to supercede most experienced bass players. Ray does not only teach you how to play bass, he teaches you about music theory. Basic principles needed to enhance your playing – it’s the little things that count. That’s the info that differentiates a good bass player from a great one. I look forward to each lesson in anticipation of learning something new. Ray provides a comfortable and fun environment as you learn. If you’re hesitant or nervous about stepping out and fulfilling a long time dream, your worries are over – Ray is the one to call.
